Why the world is getting weirder and millennials are screwed (🔥 The fireside #5)

Personally, I’ve just returned from my adventure of almost two months between Cuba, Perù and Dominican Republic. Needless to say, it’s been amazing:

I’ve seen Macchu Picchu

I’ve had lots of Peruvian food (hint: it’s amazing)

I’ve been in a car from the 50s!

I’ve seen a lobster as big as a person

Bonus: I’ve avoided the European winter

More importantly, however, this trip has made me think a lot about my mental health and life-work balance because, once again, I sucked at both. If you have any tips on how to cope with the pressures of running a business, as well as making the most of every moment whilst travelling, I’d love to hear from you!

I hope you enjoy this issue,

With ❤️

Do you ever have the impression that the world is getting weirder every day? Over-regulation is probably to blame: as we create more rules, safety nets, and regulations, the only things that will get through are the tailed events.

For decades there’s been a joke in physics: nuclear fusion is the energy of the future – and always will be. Now MIT thinks they can ‘put it on the grid in 15 years’.

What I'm reading 📚

I’m currently reading “Life of Pi”, based on the real story of Piscine Molitor “Pi” Patel, who survived 227 days on a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean with a 200 kg Royal Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.

There is lots of talk about spirituality, family, values and… well, surviving on a boat with a tiger. I found this book exceptionally well-written and often hilarious. Truly recommended.

An evangelical pastor from São José dos Campos, Brazil, staged his own kidnapping in an attempt to shake down his own family for 3 (three) BTC. When his family refused to pay the bitcoin ransom, the pastor turned himself in.
